Hi! I have enrolled into Colby, but I have untill June 1st to request to defer enrollment (to take a gap year). Can anyone say from experience what is expected (and discouraged) in this request? My college counselor says colleges don't really care what I do in my gap, unless I'm rotting on the couch...
Thank you for the help!!!!!

I've been committed to Colby but got off of the BU and Wesleyan waitlists this week. Im leaning a bit more towards Colby and Wesleyan because I'm not sure how I'd feel being in a city, but not really sure which one would be a better fit for me. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Hi I, I am an incoming freshmen and have a few questions about the dorms.
I am intl student, and wanted to know if I am allowed to keep stuff in my dorm when I leave for summer breaks. I am not sure if I wanna bring my PC, but the biggest deal-breaker with it is whether or not I can keep stuff in my dorms over the breaks. If I cant I'll probably just end up selling it.
Thanks.
Hi Colby students and parents. What’s the deal with food at Colby? Is there an unlimited meal plan? How about late night snack options? Waterville takeout?
I wanna when will they release the decision? And on what day? For priority transfer deadline
I’ve been doing my best to demonstrate a lot of clear interest but I’m obviously still nervous about getting in or not — is there any kind of timeframe I can realistically expect?
I know classes are typically small.
Are they more discussion collaborative based?
A lecture style where everyone does their own thing?
I know it varies by teacher probably but what is the norm?
Prospective student here trying to gauge how Colby places into finance (IB, PE, Consulting, AM).
A few questions:
1. Does Colby actually send kids to BBs/EBs, or mostly MM and boutiques?
2. How useful is Davis Connects and the alumni network for breaking into NYC?
3. Which firms do OCR vs. networking-only?
4. How does it compare to t25s and other top LACs for finance placement?
Any current students or recent grads who can share real experiences? Thanks!
When I was put on the waitlist, I just gave a quick two sentence or so update confirming my interest.
A week later, when I realized it needed to be more substantive, I wrote an actual full letter including an extracurricular update… and I just realized that I never actually sent it. Well I just sent it now, but is it too late?
I’d really like to get off the waitlist and attend Colby.
